New year. New resolutions. Every year we make the pledge to eat healthier and get more exercise. What is good for the waistline is also good for your phishing defense posture. With more than 90% of breaches attributed to successful phishing campaigns – now is the time to think about how to prepare and prevent attacks. In this session, you’ll hear about 10 resolutions for your phishing defense programs that will make your organization more secure.

Some of the topics covered include:

- How to empower humans to be part of the solution
- Best practices to balance automation with human intuition
- How the latest features and technologies can make your life easier

Bad News: Over a third of all phishing attacks target financial institutions.
Good News: Recent Cofense research shows that when financial companies train employees they will report phishing. In fact, a Cofense customer recently stopped an attack in 10 minutes.

But how do you know if your organization is ready for an attack? Does your company have the right tools to quickly block threats that evade perimeter defenses?

In this presentation, we discuss the current state of resiliency against phishing threats in financial services. Cofense expert Tonia Dudley shares her insights on:

We hear horror stories about users clicking on some malware-enabled payload and all of a sudden all of the codes for their hardware security fobs are stolen or a business email compromise (CEO fraud) attack has been launched. Unfortunately, these stories are true. Phishing and its cousins, spear phishing, vishing, smishing, pharming, and whaling are all serious security concerns, but are they cyber-Armageddon? This 20/20 editorial webcast with ensuing special report focuses on the realities of phishing and recommends defenses you can use to reduce your risk and make it a less profitable business for the attackers.

When a phishing email makes it past your next-gen perimeter defenses - and it will - what do you do next? One way is through automation, letting the latest blinky boxes take care of the threat, but are they always right? The best response is a blend of documented, repeatable procedures that includes human intuition, along with automation.

Technology alone is not enough to respond to phishing attacks. In this session, Aaron Higbee, CTO and co-founder of Cofense (formerly PhishMe) will discuss best practices on blending human intuition with automation. Tonia Dudley, Security Solution Adviser, will demonstrate how to stop phishing attacks faster with Cofense Triage.

A third of all breaches target healthcare companies. But while phishing defense is an industry must, new Cofense research shows that healthcare lags behind other sectors in recognizing and reporting phishing. If you're in healthcare, or any other industry for that matter, how do you know if your organization is ready for an attack?

In this presentation, we discuss the current state of healthcare's resiliency against phishing threats. Cofense expert Alexandra Wenisch shares her insights on:

What’s keeping you up at night? Ransomware? Phishing? Spyware? Malware? Data Breaches? A malicious email typically opens the door to those threats.

Organisations spend great energy (and budget) preventing users from falling prey, but threat actors continue to find ways to get past automated controls, staying one step ahead of artificial intelligence tools. Solving the phishing problem is more than just awareness: it’s about empowering humans to become instinctual nodes on the cyber defence network and feeding their real-time intelligence to security teams for immediate action.

Join Cofense and (ISC)² on Oct 10, 2018 (Wed) at 13:00 (Singapore time) to hear about trends that we’ve been seeing around the globe and how they can impact the Asia-Pacific region.

A major breach of your enterprise's critical data could potentially threaten the life of your business. In addition to the potential loss of customer data or intellectual property, a breached company faces public scrutiny, IT security overhauls, potential lawsuits, brand damage, and loss of customers. In this webcast, experts discuss the real losses associated with a breach, both in the data center and in the business –and how an effective data breach response program can help mitigate the damage.
When you attend this webinar, you will:
• learn what factors cause the price of an incident to ratchet up higher and higher
• learn how much cyber insurance can (and cannot) protect you from the costs of a breach
• learn how much a good incident response team can save your organization
understand the long-term impacts a data breach can have on your organization and how to prepare for them

While ransomware might not be dominating the headlines, it is still a persistent threat that continues to evolve. Weaponized emails still make it past the gateway and ransomware infections happen. Today, variants of ransomware offer “customer support” offered by the cybercriminal for communication and negotiation with the victim. Ransom amounts can vary depending on the perceived wealth of the victim. Ransomware operators also offer flexible payment methods using forms of payment other than Bitcoin and even structured payment/decryption plans. As ransomware evolves, so must your response to these threats.

This session will help you understand:

- The impact of what happens if your users are not trained on email scrutiny
- The multiple effects it can have on your enterprise
- Techniques to mitigate incidents and bolster your network’s protection against future attacks

Ransomware is a vicious type of malware. Not only can it potentially destroy your data and perhaps even your hardware, it can wreak havoc on your business operations. Ultimately the question a company has to face, of course, is do you pay the ransom for the chance to recover your system or not. If you don’t pay, you potentially could lose everything. If you do pay, you potentially could still lose everything, as well as possibly break various laws. This 20/20 editorial webcast with ensuing special report takes a deeper dive into your options and why you might well face a no-win scenario. It’s the Kobayashi Maru test – do you follow the rules or make your own?

If you are implementing a security awareness program – how do you talk about it with executives? This session will review the top 5 reports that Boards and top executives need to see as you implement a program. They will demonstrate if your plan is working or if changes are needed. These stats about your program will help you plan and secure the gaps between end users and technology while communicating measurable goals.

Hear from Aaron Higbee and Lenny Liebmann, contributing editor with InformationWeek as they discuss the latest phishing trends, attacks and defense strategies across global enterprises and some predictions of what to expect in 2018.

We’re all bombarded by emails. Unfortunately, some are weaponized. They deliver ransomware, other malware, and social engineering scams. What happens when a phishing email gets past your security technologies and lands in employees’ inboxes?

This webinar will show you how to teach them to spot and report phishing, feed your incident response teams the intel to mitigate attacks and increase overall enterprise resiliency. Take the first step in creating a collective and collaborative defense. One that enables your team to stop email-based threats.

Join (ISC)² EMEA and PhishMe for a look back at 2017’s threats and a look ahead. We’ll provide an overview of what PhishMe's Intelligence team uncovered, discuss trends in phishing-delivered malware, and analyse how various delivery vectors evolved.

Some of the trends we’ll discuss:
•The implications of last year’s major global cyber-events, such as WannaCry and NotPetya
•The emergence of new ransomware families
•The abuse of legitimate functions built into business-critical software platforms to deliver malware
•The favouring of modularity and plug-in accompaniments to lightweight botnet and stealer malwares
•New ways cyber-criminals are obtaining cryptocurrency

Cyber-crime won’t slow down. Take this opportunity to learn from the recent past as you deal with current threats and prepare for whatever’s next.

Ransomware continues to be a headline grabber but where do these attacks rate compared to other cyberattacks? We look at the history of ransomware, it’s not-so-obvious impacts, and how you can prepare for the next attack in today’s 20/20 webinar.
